Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

“He’s dead now, right?” The lizard man smacked his lips, his bumpy face showing deep fear. “He survived the combined attack of the three of us, and he even had the energy to take another person with him.”

The giant eagle landed on the ground, its huge wings drooping, supporting its body with its only remaining leg. Suddenly, it flapped its wings, blowing up a large piece of blood-red snow.

"There's still movement in the Soul Locking Formation!"

"What did you say?" The lizardman looked at the flying giant eagle in confusion. Suddenly, its eyes widened, and it knelt on the ground with its belly in its hands, and its scaly face twisted.

"I see that you are not very courageous. How dare you swallow mine?" As soon as the words fell, the lizard man's body suddenly exploded like a leaking balloon, accompanied by a strong wind that penetrated his body.

The soul-locking formation was broken, and as the caster, the giant eagle suffered a backlash. It was already seriously injured and froze, falling from mid-air. It struggled to fly again, but someone stepped on its back, and a small hand grabbed its neck from behind and pressed it back to the ground.

It flapped its wings to try to break free from the shackles, but was pinned by two spears. It did not intend to give up, and under its covert manipulation, some vines quietly broke through the snow above in the blind spot of its vision, suddenly grew wildly, and stabbed at the boy who was stepping on its back.

"Puff!" Along with the sound of flesh being pierced, the vines that were cut into pieces fell beside the gun shadows, and some gun shadows pierced directly from the giant eagle's body. However, these gun shadows avoided the vital parts, so it would not die for a while.

Suddenly, a streak of green light shot out from its body, flew into the air, and then turned around and shot towards the boy. At the critical moment, the boy reached out and grabbed the streak of light. He looked closely and found that what he was holding in his hand was a sword, a real sword, and the tip of the sword stopped only three inches away from his throat.

As he watched, the young man suddenly sneered, and he pried the sword open from the front of his throat bit by bit. Finally, he grabbed the blade and inserted the sword into the giant eagle's body. The whole sword was inserted, causing the giant eagle to let out another shrill scream.

He still maintained the posture of holding the giant eagle's neck with one hand and stepping on the hilt of the sword with one foot, staring blankly at the wound in his palm that was emitting dark green energy.

The giant eagle was panting heavily, and suddenly heard the young man on its back say something incomprehensible in a low voice: "This is my prey, and I haven't even made a move yet, how dare you?"

The giant eagle closed its mouth. It felt the strong killing intent and was so scared that it dared not breathe. It was a little unsure about the realm of this young man.

"You are the one who is trying to stop me, right?" The young man looked at the giant eagle with a half-smile. His face, which should have been pleasing to the eye, now revealed a chilling coldness. "Since you want me to die so much, why don't we die together?"

On the top of the city wall, Yuyan stopped what she was doing and looked up into the distance. Because Xiao was not there, as the second strongest person, she naturally took over Xiao's burden, wandering around to provide support and kill the monsters that broke through the formation and climbed up the city wall.

The other three gates also encountered king-level enemies and were unable to take care of themselves. Because Xiao led away the three king-level monsters and probably intercepted a large number of ordinary monsters in the battle, her situation was actually the best.

It seemed that because there were too few companions, the scattered beasts under the city did not continue to attack the city defense formation, and looked a little confused. Seeing this, the tired soldiers showed excitement on their faces and attacked more vigorously.

This was the first time they saw the herd reduced to such a small number, and the first time they saw hope.

When the last monster fell to the ground, the world suddenly became quiet for a moment, leaving only the whistling cold wind and the sound of artillery fire from afar. Soon, the city wall became lively again, and the survivors moved the bodies of monsters and their companions, treated those who were still groaning, and exhaled white air to talk about their joy.

"Is it over? Where's Xiao?" a very common question was raised. Every time a battle was over, a soldier would call out the name of a familiar comrade.

"It seems that he didn't even retreat back into the formation."

Yuyan noticed several figures running towards her. Their armor was clean, so she guessed they had not participated in the previous battle. Looking at these immature figures, she guessed that they were students sent by the academy to help carry things. But why did they come to the city wall to look for someone?

When these people saw her, they paused for a moment, and after greeting her, they came to the edge of the city wall. She looked in other directions, but secretly she was paying attention to the movements of these people, wanting to hear what they would say.

"Didn't they say that a king-level monster came outside?" Luo Gui said in a calm tone, but his slightly frowned brows revealed his inner worries.

"It's just a king-level monster," Cheng Han said proudly. "During the midterm test last semester, Xiao was only at the Venerable level, but he was able to hurt a Saint-level immortal. Now he's already at the Saint-level. It's no problem for a king-level monster to defeat him."

Li Jianchuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's not your achievement, why are you so proud? I'm his roommate, let me be proud first."

"And Xiao is very fast. Even if we can't defeat him, he should have no problem escaping if nothing unexpected happens." Fu Sen added.

"You are quite optimistic." Chu Nian teased.

Li Jianchuan asked back: "We can't curse Xiao at a time like this, right? It's definitely better to hope for something good."

Yuyan lowered his eyes, looking thoughtful.

Listening to the descriptions of these people, the person they are referring to seems to be Jin Peng. Xiao... is this Jin Peng's real name? It also sounds like a code name. This seems to be the name of a legendary mountain ghost. Did his parents give him this name? What a strange naming habit.

"Is that Xiao's gun shadow over there?" Chu Nian pointed into the distance.

Yuyan pulled herself out of her thoughts and looked in the direction Chu Nian pointed, and saw what he said. But the gun shadow was not the blue or dark green color she often saw, but a red color she had never seen before, a blood-like color, and she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

East gate.

Large groups of monsters passed through the barrier and pressed towards the top of the city. On the city wall, a fierce man wearing a cloak and with purple lightning wrapped all over his body ran around, clearing out the monsters that were killing indiscriminately among the soldiers.

The servant whipped the barrier with a whip, causing ripples to appear on the barrier. It looked at the figure running on the wall with a playful look, and laughed, "You don't think you'll be fine if you hide in this shell, do you? Since you refuse to come out, I can only make a few holes in the shell, so that you can experience the feeling of being a trapped beast."

A few gusts of wind blew by, and before the Servant could react, the spear pierced its body, and its face was tightly pressed against the barrier. Behind it, countless monsters were nailed to death on the spear tip, and the blood flowing from the wounds dyed the ink-black spear shadow red bit by bit.

It was like a pen dipped in red ink drew a stroke on the white curtain stained with sewage, and the entire beast tide was divided into two by this wide bloodstain.

Before the servant could counterattack, it was thrown out by a force, and the attacker followed closely behind, piercing the monster where it landed instantly. Then it was picked up again, falling in another direction with the curse of death.

The pressure on his shoulders was relieved, and General Beichen finally had time to observe the situation outside the formation. He looked at the figure who was killing crazily, and couldn't help but shuddered: "Is that... Xiao?"

……

The red gun shadows continued, and corpses were hanging on them. When the purgatory painted with only red and gray colors spread to the west gate, the messenger behind the scenes finally reacted.

The beast tide receded.

The gun shadows shattered into fluorescent lights all over the sky, melting into the wind and snow. Without anything to support them, the animal corpses all fell into a pool of blood. But at this moment, the creator of this beautiful scene disappeared.

The realm of five swords.

Ci Feng sensed the commotion in the black fog and during a break asked the tall man in front of him about the situation.

"You don't have to worry. They won't affect your practice." The man's eyes flashed fiercely, but he didn't intend to explain the details. "Since you are so free, you must have rested enough. Continue."

“No!” Ci Feng wailed, but the man did not show any mercy. He left a sentence “I’ll come back to check later” and turned into a phoenix and flew away.

It came into the black fog and listened to the angry howls of its companions.

The feathers disappeared, indicating that the younger generation was most likely in danger. Combined with the fact that the companions who had separated their spirits and possessed weapons felt the same breath as the black fog, the truth of the matter also became clear.

Those guys came again, but they were cursed and imprisoned here, immortal and indestructible, excluded from reincarnation, and could only watch. No, now they couldn't even see.

Thinking of this, a fire of ignorance and karma rose in its heart.

On that day, the sounds of mourning and resentment continued in the realm of the Five Swords, causing the five sword feathers to tremble and alarming the Immortal Gate.
